separating out a custom field context

Question

Morning...

Question that has been rattling around Atlassian support for a while and not getting any traction.

We have a select list custom field associated with two projects, through one conext. That is, the options for the select are the same for both projects.

This was a mistake, it should have been two different contexts. Is there a way I can separate them out now? Apparently if a new context is created and associated, existing values on issues are lost. (I haven't tested this, asking on behalf of someone else, but seems quite plausible).

At some point since writing this question, almost three years ago, I wrote something to separate out the contexts: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Built-In+Scripts#Built-InScripts-SplitCustomFieldContext

Unless you removed them from your first context, they are not available to be added to a new context.

Simply deselect the projects in your first context so that they are no longer part of that context. Then create a new context and add these projects to the new context.
